I've been in the coffee business since the first SCAA convention in Seattle
in 1991. I can still taste my first iced latte. It was a life
changing experience and I bet one that many of you entrepreneurs share.

I'm still 61, and will be when I finish this first leg of the ride in either
Fort Meyers or Key West.

Cathy and I have been together since September 30, 1986 when we met on the
Ocean City, NJ boardwalk while walking and riding. (Actually we had seen
each other and been introduced at a public meeting and it was instant
connections. We both took a step back and I can tell you it was
electric.) We were married since June 11, 1996 in the Pinelands at Battsto
Village, New Jersey. If you go the link you will see the Post Office
there and a tree where we were married. It was the best day and the best
thing that ever happened to Bob.

Cathy will be piloting the motor home.

Jennifer Timon-Johnson, my daughter, is 38 and is an
Executive Producer on CBS's Cold
Case. Jenn's husband Jeff is an accomplished writer too, and their
daughter Ingrid is on her way to becoming the first bilingual grandchild at
the age of 18 months.
This is Jennifer ice skating.
And Cooking.

Paul, my son is 36 and has his own business, Meadowview
Landscaping. He has a terrific wife, Michelle and four children, all adventurers. Maggie is 13, Jack is 10, Marli is 9 and Luke
Robert is 6.

This is Paul building his home.

The warmest smile in the world. And he's up there.

This is at least 35 feet up. I can't imagine doing
this, but his gene's are good.
